Abstract

This work is the result of a preliminary revision on the color control and management in the textile retail industry in Chile. This work aimed to determine which variables are key within a typical textile supply chain. Interviews and surveys were carried out among color assessors in the Chilean retail. The most important variables that influence the control and management of color at the national level were identified. In addition, it was determined that many of the practices in color assessment are made very intuitive due to the lack of knowledge and a solid background in color science. This information gives the basis to understand how color management works and it allows to identify possible strategies to implement control and communication of color in the national retail industry.
